Hacking Swiss announced by emu_kidid - Successor of SD-Boot

I thought that too but my microSDHC card with SD adapter reads fine in the front SD slot on the Wii to load apps with HBC, but definitely does not load any apps if I put it in my wiikey sd (gecko) in the memory card slot with HBC. So, reads fine without wiikey for HBC but doesn't with it, not bringing swiss into the picture at all. That's what made me believe the wiikey adapter is not working right for some reason.

sd/sdhc has multiple transfer modes. The only one that gamecube controllers support is spi mode.

spi is optional on microsd/sdhc, so the microsd/sdhc manufacturers have no obligation to support it, therefore most devices don't require it & there is no demand for it.

I'm not going to say that no micro cards support spi, but that might as well be the case.

smf, I take it you mean that there is different transfer mode support in place for the internal SD slot on the wii versus the memory card slots because they are older gamecube hardware? I honestly don't know much about these transfer modes, but if that's true then I need a regular SDHC (not micro) to properly use swiss with the wiikey adapter? Hmmm, well, I'll probably still get a new one just in case. But I also need a new card now, probably.

EDIT: While searching about it some on google, I found this pdf http://www.pqi.com.tw/upload/download/micro%20SD(2).pdf which seems to say pqi supports spi.
My microsdhc card is pqi brand and I use the sdhc adapter that was supplied with it, btw.

Erm, I've read that SPI is mandatory for the whole SD family! Hmmm... I wonder...?

This page seems to confirm it:
http://www.enotes.com/topic/Secure_Digital#Transfer_modes
"All cards must support all three modes, except for microSD where SPI is optional."

However, general searches about it don't come up with very much info confirming that a lot of cards don't support spi. The spec sheet for pqi that I posted does say spi support is there if I read and understood it right, but this is all new to me.

Hi
To boot Swiss and load iso's do I need to have a cMIOS on my Wii?

Hi

Yes. I recommend WiiGators cMIOS installed with WiiPowers Installer.

Link please?

linky (source: neogamma R9 beta test-thread).

EDIT: deleted accidental double post.

Wiipowers own cMIOS should also work great. frankly any cMIOS is fine for swiss.

OK, I am trying to compile swiss on windows 7 64-bit using the compiling tutorial (http://code.google.com/p/swiss-gc/wiki/Compiling) but I cant even get past the first part, where you have to use powerpc-eabi-as sd.S -o dvdcode.elf because the powerpc-eabi-as command isn't found. I have reinstalled devkitpro, but I still have the problem. The doltool command is also not found.

So I can now boot GC ISOs from Front SD/USB/SD Gecko?

So I can now boot GC ISOs from Front SD/USB/SD Gecko?

SD Gecko or IDE-EXI (Memory Card Slot B -> IDE HDD)

where I can buy a IDE-EXI?

 

[tagzard]

WHEN WILL IT COME OUT!!!!!! This is a noob question. So this is what it does gamecube wise. Lets it load Gamecube Games from a external harddrive right? If so i will spend so much less money buying the dvd-r mini.

 

[Madridi]

How is the compatibility on this? I mean loading GC isos from HDD..

 

[Hells Guardian]

not perfect but It's improving rapidly with each revision. It loads a large number of games but there is a long way to go. the current list can be found here.

http://www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic...?f=25&t=464

Not this list is far from complete and always changeable.

I have a HDD usb driver can I play games from there?
and is the programe ready to download?

 

[Taleweaver]

As has been answered a gazillion times in this thread alone:

it cannot, and will never, load games from a USB hard disk. Only from an IDE one, provided you have a IDE-EXI cable (and these are pretty rare, though I think that if you look around on gc-forever you may find out what's needed to make your own). Or from an SD gecko.

And while in beta, it is released. Check out the downloads here. If you're running it from a wii, you'll also need swiss booter.

What are the chances of loading off of a USB disk from a USB Gecko? Or is it not possible for the USB Gecko to function as a USB host?
